Home Invasion Victims May Know Their Attackers

News in brief

Police Thursday were investigating a home invasion in which three armed men ordered residents and guests onto the floor of a Kissimmee apartment and stole an estimated $700.

No one was hurt during the 10:45 p.m. Wednesday incident, and the victims may have known their attackers, according to a police report.

One of the victims told Kissimmee police that the suspects entered unit ''H'' at 1802 Concord Circle in the Vinyard Apartments as she was leaving, police documents show.

The men, two with shirts over their faces and one wearing a ski mask, ordered everyone onto the floor and asked where ''both of the safes'' were, the report says. The robbers carried a .380-caliber chrome handgun and a black 9mm pistol, according to the report.

Two victims told police that one suspect's voice sounded familiar. Also, one of the victims said an acquaintance had threatened the victim's husband and talked of stealing money, documents say.

The victims were identified as: Ronda Cates, 17, Stephen Thrasher, 20, and Bryan Fielitz, 18, both of the Concord Circle address, Jennifer Harlow, 23, of St. Cloud, and Jackie Knapp, 19, and Ray Boettger, 19, both of Davenport.
